What's left when we leave?
Inspired by the community image sharing blog, Forgotten Alabama, this project in development looks to explore, when a place is forgotten, what is left behind?
Process:
Phase one: community promotion and canvassing for location and information.
Phase two: location research into history and local lore
Phase three: creative development of the piece, workshopping of technology and installation
Phase four: previews to invited guests, supporters, revision
Phase five: scheduled performance and taping
The hope is to develop a piece that explores something forgotten about Montevallo- as the landscape and population change- which is so frequent in a college town- sometimes stories and places are "forgotten" even though they are still a presence in the local landscape. What remains to be discovered in these places? What can we learn from these places and how do we reclaim them without destroying them to build anew?
